First experience with leather mask making

This weekend I played shop assistant to a friend, and learned a bit about mask making. You can learn more about shaping leather on a Google search, but here is a picture of the sort of thing you can do.

The basics include cutting out the mask, getting it wet, shaping it on your face, and drying it in an oven on low for a few minutes at a time until it's mostly dry. Acrylic paints did well on the leather. I'll post more when I experiment with it myself.
